Recently a friend (very centered, very grounded) asked me to send her a list of all my favorite songs that reference “breathing.” She is going to write her own song about just that.

It’s a great topic!

Yep, breathing is “the bomb” in communications…Ye Olde Secret Weapon.

Oxygen (O2) is to fire what breathing is to conversation. Breathing can bring new life to your conversations and presentations. Breathing can take a spark of an idea and turn it into a roaring hotbed of discussion. 

In books, blogs, and business seminars – we still hear about the importance of breathing…the importance of taking a moment…taking a breath.

Mmmmmm…

Why do I have to remind myself to take a deep breath sometimes? Is it the 60-second news cycle culture? Is it the multi-media multi-tasking? Is it anticipation? The excitement of being caught up in a moment?

I feel fortunate to have so many moments in my life that simply take my breath away. But I am going to continue heeding the good advice of so many respected sources/resources and remember to breathe during every moment of my life…

TIP: If you want to pump some O2 into your business speaking/presentations, I recommend Cahill and Associates. Their powerful training program is a breath of fresh air.
